ORDAINED ACTS (WAJIBAT)
OF SALAT
Q. What do we understand by the ordained acts (wajibat)
of Salat?
Ans. The ordained acts of Salat
are those acts that are compulsory to be performed in Salat.
If a person forgets to perform any of these acts he shall have to rectify
the error by means of remedial prostration (sijdah
sahv). If no such sijdah
is performed after the omission of a wajib
or any one of these acts is deliberately omitted, Salat
will be invalid and will have to be revised.
Q. How many ordained acts (wajibs)
are there in the Salat?
Ans. There are fourteen Wajibs
in Salat:
- Doing recitation in the first two rak’ahs:
- Reciting Al-Fatiha in each and
every rak’ah of all Salats
with the exception of the third and the fourth rak’ahs of fard
Salat;
- Reciting either one whole chapter (surah)
or a long verse (ayah) or three
short verses in the first two rak’ahs
of a fard Salat and in each and
every rak’ah of all other Salats
whether wajib, masnun
or Nafl after the Al-fatiha;
- Reciting Al-fatiha before reciting
any other Surah;
- Maintaining the order set for recitation, ruku’, sijdah
and the rak'ahs;
- Doing qaumah (standing erect
after ruku’);
- Performing jalsah (sitting up
in between the two sijdahs);
- Doing justice with (performing with ease and grace), the constituents
of Salat such as ruku’,
sijdah etc;
- Sitting as long as is required for Tashah-hud
after two rak’ahs in a Salat comprising
three or four rak’ahs;
- Reciting Tashah-hud in the two
Qa’dahs;
- For Imam to recite the Qur-an aloud in
Salat of Fajr, Maghrib, isha,
Jum’a, the two ‘ids and all the rak’ahs of
Taravih and of Witr in the holy month of
Ramadan and reciting on a low pitch in the
Salats for dhuhr, ‘Asr etc;
